The intensity of ❌ radiation gets less as you move ❌ away from the source. The intensity of the Sun's radiation decreases further away from it because it is spread over a ❌ area. This is why planets more distant from the Sun than the Earth are much ❌ than our planet. The earth receives more of the Sun's electromagnetic radiation because the intensity of the radiation is ❌ closer to the Sun.
❌ = energy transferred per second per m^2.
If you move a torch closer to a surface, its light spreads over a smaller area and becomes ❌. The total energy from the torch each second is the ❌, but the intensity of light on the surface increases. This happens because as the distance ❌, the area the energy spreads over increases four-fold, and so the intensity ❌ four-fold.
